      Verdict

      Ajzal is the obvious starting point here with Ed de Giles' seven-year-old chasing a hat-trick after wins at Huntingdon and Towcester. The top weight is now 9lb higher than when successful last time, however, and may be worth opposing with ZEPNOVE. The mare was a decent novice hurdler on fast ground a couple of years ago and second on her only previous start over the larger obstacles - she will have needed the outing here last week. Haoyunma suffered a heavy fall here seven days ago and it remains to be seen if that has affected her confidence.
